04 October 2012 Thanks Sir. However this has raised a query that would that not lead to breach of service contract between the employer & employee?

04 October 2012 A full time employee of one company can be the director of other company however, he may be only Non Executive Director.

He cannot be a executive director. Because a person cannot be in full time employment with more than one employer.
